A Drop-In Double Bowl Built for Balanced Kitchen Workflows
The Karran Profile PT35 is an 18-gauge stainless steel top mount kitchen sink with two equal bowls in a 33 by 22 inch footprint. It drops into an existing countertop cutout from above, making it a natural choice for countertop replacements, kitchen remodels, and new cabinet builds where a clean, symmetrical two-station layout is the goal.
Key Features
• Equal double-bowl configuration divides the sink into two matched basins, supporting a dedicated wash and rinse workflow without sacrificing basin size on either side.
• Top mount installation drops into the countertop cutout from above, securing with rim clips below and covering the cut edge with the visible perimeter rim.
• 18-gauge stainless steel construction delivers a balance of rigidity and sound-dampening weight appropriate for a residential kitchen primary sink.
• 7-1/2 inch bowl depth offers working volume for large pots, baking sheets, and busy prep tasks on both sides of the divider.
• 33 by 22 inch overall footprint fits a standard 36 inch sink base cabinet with conventional under-cabinet plumbing clearance.
• Brushed satin stainless finish resists visible water spots and surface marks under normal daily use.
Where This Sink Fits the Job
A symmetrical equal-bowl layout earns its place in kitchens where both stations see real, regular use. One side holds a basin of soapy water for hand-washing dishes; the other runs clean for rinsing or holds a drying rack. For households or small commercial prep spaces that move through dishes in volume, the equal split means neither side becomes an afterthought. The 7-1/2 inch bowl depth keeps large stockpots and full sheet pans submerged without tipping out of the basin.
The top mount installation path also opens this sink to a wider range of countertop materials than an undermount requires. Whether the counter is laminate, butcher block, or tile, the rim drops over the cut edge and seals with silicone, no countertop-edge finishing needed. That also makes this a straightforward swap when a countertop is staying in place and only the sink is being replaced.
Construction and Finish
Karran's Profile Series builds the PT35 from 18-gauge stainless steel with a soft satin brushed interior and exterior. The brushed direction runs consistently across the bowl and the deck area around the rim, so the surface reads as uniform once installed. At 18 gauge, the steel carries enough thickness to minimize drum resonance from running water without the premium price point of a 16-gauge bowl. The flat perimeter rim provides a solid seating surface for silicone and holds the sink flat against the counter deck. Faucet drillings are made through the countertop or the sink deck based on the installer's hardware choice and layout.
The Right Buyer for This Sink
Cabinet shops and kitchen dealers specifying a solid everyday sink for a standard 36 inch base cabinet will find the PT35 works cleanly with conventional plumbing rough-in and requires no special countertop preparation. Contractors handling a kitchen swap where the counter is staying will appreciate the top mount path — trace, cut, drop in, clip, and seal. Homeowners comparing stainless double-bowl options will recognize the equal-bowl layout as the most flexible configuration when the workflow isn't yet fully settled. The 33 inch width is the most common sizing for this bowl style, so it lands in a well-stocked cabinet run without modification.
Does this sink need a special countertop material to install?
No. Top mount installation works on laminate, solid surface, stone, butcher block, and tile. The perimeter rim covers the cut edge, so the countertop material does not need to be edge-finished for the sink opening.
What cabinet size does this sink require?
The 33 by 22 inch overall footprint fits a standard 36 inch sink base cabinet. Verify the existing cabinet opening against the sink's dimensions before cutting a new countertop.
Are mounting clips included with the PT35?
Confirm included hardware at the time of order. Mounting clips and silicone sealant are typically needed for top mount installation and should be on hand before the countertop cutout is made.
Where do the faucet holes go on a top mount sink?
Faucet and accessory holes can be drilled through the sink deck or through the countertop behind the sink, depending on the faucet model and your layout preference. Confirm the faucet's hole count and spacing before drilling.
Is this sink suitable for a bar or prep area, or is it sized for a primary kitchen station?
At 33 by 22 inches with a 7-1/2 inch bowl depth, this is a full-size primary kitchen sink. Bar and prep sinks are typically compact single-bowl formats in a smaller footprint.
Two Balanced Stations, One Clean Installation
The PT35 brings an equal-bowl, full-depth layout to any kitchen where a no-compromise two-station setup matters, and the top mount path keeps the installation accessible regardless of what countertop material is already in place.
